TELL ME I’M WRONG 😂
You can 100000% tell a designer’s personality by their file set up.
Design is creativity meets logic, and most people have slightly more of one than the other.
If you have perfectly named layers and equally spaced out artboards you’re probably a logic-led (read: Type A) designer.
You probably also have a daily to-do list and all your emails sorted neatly into folders. 📋✅
If you have everything 4 versions of the same colour swatch and draft designs filling the outside of your margins, you’re probably a creativity-led (Type B) designer.
You probably also have 12 tabs open at once, and can’t help starting new projects before the last one’s done. 🎨🙃
PS. If you’re smack-bang in the middle (like me) you’ll never know what you’re getting. We call it “organised chaos”. 😅
